dogs and chickens Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 We had someone a while ago offering a 50's serving hatch. Nothing odd about that until you read further down and realised you would have to go and remove the thing and fill the hole in afterwards ! I have never thought of offering my chcken's poop, interesting that you have so many takers, I guess it's the budding gardeners out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 it's how you 'sell' it, I made it sound irresistable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I had one taker - a lady with an allotment. Have another couple of bags now and compost bins still full so will post those on this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've offered a few things in the belief that it's amazing what crud other people will take off your hands. One was a broken etch-a-sketch - I actually got 3 people expressing an interest but all of them in turn failed up to collect. I also had some china bed pans don't ask that got loads of intrerest and were taken. Most people appeared to want to use them as garden plant containers. I also once offered a load of deflated footballs - I had visions of someone with a lot of dogs wanting them but I was wrong - there were no takers!

Egluntyne Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I also had some china bed pans don't ask that got loads of intrerest and were taken. If there is one thing guaranteed to whet out appetites it is the expression "Don't ask", especially if followed by or . I was going to say "come on...spill" but thought better of it.

Emma - I thought you were going to announce that you had just eaten 12 packets of prawn crisps (pregnancy does do strange things). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Egluntine, actually the truth is pretty dull - we were helping clear a house, where the bed pans were part of the many treasures therein. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) okay, beat this one- would you take number 2! I swear this is what just appeared in my inbox Edited August 18, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I was hoping for something a little more exciting. Maybe they are worth a fortune. Take 'em to the Antiques Roadshow next time it's in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I've just asked for Habitrail hamster cage bits on "I've got a good home" . Actually, I don't need any now. I went a bit mad on Ebay . The hamster's house, relatively speaking, is probably bigger than ours now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
